A Letter from the Head of School
Dear HPCA Families -
As our 2021-2022 school year comes to a close, I have taken time to reflect on the blessings that God has provided
our school family this year.
• Several students gave their lives to Christ!
• We celebrated 68 high school seniors who have been awarded over $4.8 million dollars in college
scholarships and grants. These seniors represent the 17th graduating class at HPCA and join over 950
HPCA Cougar Alumni!
• The Cougarthon annual fundraising event and Cougar Cup Golf Tournament raised $172,000 this past fall,
which are the highest monies donated in a single year to the K.M. Vestal Annual Fund.
• Our preschool enrollment of over 150 students provided a structured, caring, and loving environment for
our 18 months - 4 year-old children.
• Each elementary grade pulled together, as a class, to serve others. Their grade-level mission projects
impacted individuals within our community and across the globe.
• The middle school students completed their Servants' Heart projects with excellence by helping their
families and their community.
• Our high school students completed their “Day of Service” event, where all high school students spent a
day out in our local community serving others.
• Our re-enrollment for next year is incredibly strong – over 95% of our students have indicated that they
are returning for the 2022-2023 school year. We also have a waiting list for specific grade levels.
We value each of our HPCA families. Your commitment to Kingdom Education, your dedication to providing your
child a rigorous academic experience, and your patience, grace, and resilience over these past few months is
commendable. I greatly appreciate partnering with you on this journey.
As you review this Year-In-Review magazine, I ask that you take the time to count the blessings that have been
bestowed upon your family this past year. Take a moment to see the good in your child’s accomplishments, to
reflect on the challenges they have overcome, and rest in Him, knowing that He is in control of the future.
If you feel led to do so, we have included a pledge card. All donations are being directed to the It Happens Now -
A Capital Campaign for HPCA. Thank you in advance for your continued support and commitment.
I hope you have a wonderful summer, and we look forward to reuniting in August!

Preschool
The HPCA Preschool teachers and staff consider it a privilege to love, teach, and nurture the 150 preschool
children who walked into our doors this year. While the demand for the HPCA Preschool continued to grow, the
quality of our program mirrored that growth.
Under the direction of Preschool Administrator, Mrs. Kelly Walker, the following initiative highlights have been
implemented. These programs ensure a safe and caring environment is provided, partnered with a Christ-centered,
hands-on, engaging learning environment.
PRESCHOOL CURRICULUM
The Preschool curriculum provides enjoyable, age-appropriate activities that encourage participation in major
areas of learning, such as personal and social development, letter and number recognition, and motor skills
development. Through the use of group and individual exploration, intentional learning centers, games, songs, and
circle time participation, our stimulating preschool program encourages creativity, captures preschoolers’ interest,
and instills an early love for learning. HPCA Preschool implements a Biblical worldview, and utilizes an educational
curriculum that nurtures foundational knowledge and skills in Bible, math, social studies, science, and language
arts through the use of music and engaging visuals.
S EN SO RY TA B L E S
The Preschool implements sensory tables with
carefully selected materials and objects to stimulate
the senses for preschool students. Sensory discovery
develops a host of skills and learning such as fine
motor, transferring skills, problem solving, creativity,
hand and eye coordination, and pretend play.
Sensory exploration builds nerve connections in the
brain and encourages the expansion of language and
vocabulary and social-emotional friendship skills.
The endless opportunities of enjoyment and positive
educational impact and the growth for all types of
learning styles makes sensory learning a must for
early childhood education.
6
PLC (PROFESSIONAL LEARNING COMMUNITIES)
Our preschool teachers meet together in Professional Learning Communities, where they can share ideas that
enhance their teaching practice. The professional practice of meeting with colleagues in meaningful educational
conversations promotes a better learning environment for our preschool students. Sharing their expertise enables
teachers to improve their teaching skills, which will ultimately have a positive impact on each student’s academic
achievement.
STUDENT ASSESSMENTS &
PA R E N T T E A C H E R C O N F E R E N C E S
HPCA Preschool administers three student assessments during the school year
that provide a record of growth in all Early Childhood domains - cognitive,
physical/motor, language, and social/emotional learning. Assessment is a
critical part of a high-quality, early childhood program that equips both
parents and teachers with an individualized tool to improve all areas of
student development. Preschool assessments identify the strengths of each
child and the opportunities for growth so that the preschool can meet the
goals and needs of each child. Assessments are the foundation of our end-
of-the-year parent-teacher conferences and a way to communicate student
progress. Parent-teacher conferences provide a common ground with parents
and families, collaborating the best supports, provision of information, and
strategies to extend learning at home.
Our preschool "littles" soak up every sweet, sweet moment
spent learning about Jesus. From their angelic voices singing
"Jesus Loves Me," to repeating their weekly Bible verses,
learning to share with friends, and loving one another – all are
foundational life lessons they will never forget.

Elementary and Middle School
The elementary and middle school divisions have been filled with laughter, smiles, love, and learning this past
school year. While our campus blossomed back to “normal,” we reflect on those little things that we love and
appreciate and make our elementary school so special: parents and grandparents enjoying lunch with their
children, the songs of worship filling the Green Street Baptist Sanctuary, field trips across the state, and so much
more!
This year many subjects had their curriculum reviewed and adjustments are being made for next year. Our goal
is to ensure students have an easy transition grade-to-grade when learning the fundamentals of various subjects.
From handwriting and cursive curriculum to Abeka phonics and middle school science curriculum, teaching from a
Biblical perspective is a strength of each of our teachers!
Elementary and middle school students participated in the IOWA testing this year. While standardized test results
are neither the only nor the most important measure of success for our students, they do measure students’
comparative academic skill sets. The results are useful in evaluating and demonstrating our students’ abilities to
apply knowledge to largely concrete problems.
These students had the opportunity to participate in several ACSI events throughout the year, such as Math
Olympics, Spelling Bees, Speech Meets, and Fine Arts competitions. By participating and competing in events
such as these, students are afforded opportunities to build confidence, knowledge, and a strong sense of
accomplishment.
We do not doubt that what is taught in the
classroom is vitally important to our students. AFTER SCHOOL CLUBS
However, being able to be the “hands and feet & EXTRACURRICULAR
of Christ” for our community is an imperative
piece of sharing the gospel with others. Our

RESOURCE
With a much needed expanded area,
flexible seating, and added technology,
our Resource Program has been able
to meet the individualized learning
needs of students this year. Our
resource team partners with classroom
teachers and parents to provide
academic support and remediation
to students who have difficulty in the
curriculum. Students may or may not
have a diagnosed issue that affects
academic performance. Our goal is
to remediate, empower and promote
success by building organization and
study skills.
We were excited to welcome
Mrs. Jennifer Barron this year, who has
brought experience in middle school
education and a love for literature.
Middle schoolers are energized with
motivation and inspiration!
The Resource team purchased and
incorporated the use of Audio Exam. “This year, our 4th graders were blessed to have Mrs. Janice Myers visit

High School A D A Y I N T H E L I F E … Freshmen and Sophomores English teachers, Mrs. Cooper and Mrs. Dixon, are extremely gifted at creating environments where students embrace challenging material and ask questions that expand the reaches of their literary and expository experiences. AP U.S. History is the first taste of AP classes, and only available for sophomores; Mrs. Oweis teaches this class with skill and enriched elements from life experiences. Mr. Cooper's Government and Economics course brings business and debate to life; he skillfully shares current events with students and directs them to interpret them through the lens of scripture. One of his fun projects is participating in a simulated 'Shark Tank' business experiment. Fine Arts, Math, and Science classes are led by outstanding teachers, such as Mr. Oats, Mrs. Johnson, Mrs. Payne, Mrs. Howard, Mrs. Migliardi, Mrs. Quattlebaum, Mr. Loy, Mrs. Fields and Mr. Bennett. Students in Spanish courses enjoy an invigorating classroom dynamic of conversational application with Mr. Sands and Mr. Aaron (who served 15 years as a missionary in Mexico). Tenth grade Bible class is taught by Mr. Bingham who keeps everyone on their toes; ninth grade Bible is taught by Mr. Beasley, who incorporates 'The Chosen' television series to help bring to life scriptural events within the life of Christ. A D A Y I N T H E L I F E … Juniors and Seniors Mr. Doyle shares insightful, intriguing trivia along with challenging novels, critical thinking, and writing techniques as he prepares seniors for college. AP science courses, taught by Mrs. Johnson and Mrs. Payne, expose Cougar students to labs and material for those considering careers in medical fields. Seniors enter a session in UTT with Mr. Mach offers each student an opportunity to engage in topics of the Christian Faith and an introduction to various worldviews. Off to an AP math class with Mr. Oats where he answers every question without referencing any calculator or instructional material; he has exquisite skill. It may have been difficult to arrive at school by 8:00 a.m.! One of the highlights of the morning is visiting the Cougar Den during morning break for a blended smoothie, coffee, biscuit, or the fan favorite – a freshly baked, gooey and delicious chocolate chip cookie from Miss Flo. Throw in an award-winning fine arts experience with Mr. Bennett, Mrs. Fields or Mr. Loy, and the day has been an enriching success. Another highlight for seniors is an Advanced P.E. trip with Coach Beasley for lazer tag, putt-putt, bowling or disc golf, followed by lunch at Cookout. After successfully completing the school day, an array of extracurricular activities await the great majority of our students after school. High School students are able to participate in afterschool clubs, such as Imago Dei and Interact. All high school students served 13 different community organizations during the HPCA Day of Service. 10

CHRISTIAN ACADEMY
EL EM EN TA RY CH A PEL
As our elementary students continue to grow spiritually, physically, academically, and socially,
our goal is for them to know the Lord, understand His Word, and demonstrate acts of Christ's
love in their lives.
The sound of hundreds of voices praising the Lord at Elementary Chapel is certainly a favorite
on campus! Guest speakers provide our students the opportunity to connect and hear
spiritual leaders throughout the community share their walk with Christ. Whether it is Farmer
Brown; Senior Green Street Baptist Church Pastor Brandon Ware; Nurse Brian Wells; or our
own Mr. Scott Prohaska, every chapel speaker delivered an
engaging, interactive experience for these students.
COUGAR PAL
CHAPEL
Our high school seniors are partnered with
elementary classes each year. This mentorship
opportunity allows our younger students
to engage with and prayerfully support our
seniors. Whether it is cheering the seniors on
at an athletic event, attending their concerts,
or a high-five in the hallway, this bond is so
special.
This year, our Cougar Pals were able to worship
together at an Elementary Chapel event. This
chapel included lots of singing, cheering,
smiles, and laughter all for His Glory!
12Chapel and Spiritual Life
MIDDLE SCHOOL & HIGH SCHOOL CHAPEL
The 2020-2021 school year was limited in chapels due to Covid protocols. Experiencing chapels each week this
year was a tremendous blessing! During middle and high school chapels our praise team, under the direction of Mr.
Justin Bingham, led us in worship each week. These dedicated students sacrificed their time and came to school
early in the morning to lead our students.
These chapels consisted of various speakers who included local pastors, youth pastors, administrators, and
teachers. Various speakers offered an array of different subjects but with all the same purpose of challenging our
students to walk with Jesus. One chapel that stood out was when Vlad Prokvenevskiy spoke. Vlad was from the
Ukraine and actually received an Operation Christmas shoebox and he told of his story and testimony.
Although chapels continue to be a highlight of HPCA life, spiritual mentoring sessions between teachers/staff/
coaches with our students are a huge facet of the spiritual maturing process. The major focus at HPCA continues
to be leading students to Jesus, building them up in Christ, and equipping them to serve Christ.
13Fine Arts ART Led by Mrs. Dewanna Neighbours and Mr. Rodney Bennett, HPCA art students thrived by using their creativity and imagination throughout the year. Selected artwork donned school hallways, were featured on various programs, and were recognized at the school- wide Art Show in May. MUSIC Led by Mrs. Kristain Coffey and Mrs. Tami Fields, our preschool fours through high school students have the opportunity to let their voices be heard! Students performed at various events throughout the year, such as the Christmas productions, Grandparents’ Day event, seasonal concerts, and more! Students begin by learning the fundamentals of reading music, singing together and performing as a choir. These musically gifted students not only filled our hallways with the sound of music – they shared their God-given talents with people throughout the nation! The Middle School Chorus, High School Concert Chorus, and Bella Voce all received a Superior rating at the ACSI Music Festival this year! High School Concert Chorus received an Excellent rating at the Festival DISNEY! spring tour this past April. 14
DRAMA HPCA’s Drama Department certainly brought on strong performances throughout the year! High School students in drama class performed various sets throughout the year at elementary and middle school chapel. The HPCA Drama Club includes middle and high school students and is led by Miss Michaela Reynolds and Mrs. Vicki Cohen. They presented The Secret Adversary by Agatha Christie (and adapted by Tracey Wells) this spring. BAND From our sixth grade students learning their first instrument to our high school bands performing and practicing in a university setting, 2022 was a memorable year for our band students! They performed at school concerts, football games, Wake Forest Football Halftime Show, art shows, Carowinds Music Festival, and more! The Middle School Concert Band, the High School Concert Band, and the High School Jazz Band all competed in the ASCI Band Festival and each received a Superior rating! The High School Concert Band also performed at Festival Disney, receiving Excellent ratings. “Since joining HPCA, we quickly saw that this was more than a school; it is a family. The support that everyone gives each other here at HPCA goes beyond education; they wrap their arms around your family, personally and spiritually, also. Love that our children can receive an amazing education while growing spiritually in such a fun, upbeat environment” - Megan and Jordan Bouldin 15
Athletics Fielding 33 different athletic teams in twelve sports, Cougar Nation athletes bring a healthy, competitive nature; perseverance; teamwork; and dedication onto the courts and fields. Our middle school athletes test their talents, develop their skills, and grow in their enthusiasm for sports. Our high school athletics take their athletic performance to the next level, focusing on strength and conditioning, training, and an understanding of sportsmanship, both on and off the fields. This year, Coach David Spencer was honored to coach the inaugural Varsity Girls Golf Team. With five players, not only did they play the course – they wowed spectators and their competitors! What a great addition to our sports program! With tremendous team spirit, both varsity girls and boys basketball teams went all the way to compete in the State Championship games! Losing tough loses at this game, this is certainly not anything for these players and coaches to hang their heads. Cougar Nation Strong! The mission of HPCA athletics stretches way beyond the fields and courts. All teams spend time in His Word, understanding how to be a reflection of Him, and how to positively impact our local community. Team service projects allow every HPCA athlete opportunities to impact our community for Him! 16

"Kennedy is a powerhouse leader on the volleyball court. This year she led the
team with 321 kills. She reached her goal of 1,000 career kills and is only the 3rd
in the school's history to accomplish this goal. She is a three-time All Conference
and three-time All State explosive, passionate, and dominant player."

Isaiah Sanders and Kennedy Powell was the catalyst to bring success for these past three seasons. With 1500 points
and 100 rebounds; three-time team captain; three-time All Conference; three-time
All State; and PTAC Player of the Year, Kennedy is a confident, yet humble player with natural superstar abilities."
- Coach Drew, Basketball
MALE ATHLETE OF THE YEAR: ISAIAH SANDERS
"Zay is a blur on the basketball court. He gets the ball up the court, in front of whoever and whatever may be in his
way. He grew tremendously as the season progressed. I can unequivocally say that no one watched more films than
he did. His success on the court and consistency were no surprise as a result of his hard work. He certainly earned
his All Conference, All State, and All Area Team accolades."
- Coach Cooper, Basketball
"A 2022 State Champion in the 100 meter, and a 2021 State Champion in the 100 and 200 meter showcase his
consistency and athleticism. Isaiah is the conference champion in the 100 and 200 meter, and anchored the
4x100 meter relay to a 2nd place finish. He was voted as co-MVP of the meet by our conference coaches. Isaiah is
hardworking, determined, and a confident young man who displays sportsmanship at all times. He is a leader on
our team and strives each day to improve his performance with the talents God has blessed him with."
- Coach Foster, Track and Field
17Technology
HPCA's Technology Department advances our vision of a student-centric learning environment. The use of
technology is routine, transparent, and supports curricular goals. They provide support to faculty, staff, and
families as we continue to leverage new educational technology resources. In our pursuit of providing Christ-
centered, quality education and academic excellence, we will continue to plan for the integration of technology
across all divisions.
Our 3-D printers have been used to enhance the student's knowledge about the design process using Tinkercad.
Students in grades 6-8 learn about the Engineering Design process and design a prototype to be printed and
tested. This past year students designed bubble wands. Students in grades 3-5 learned how to use design
software, Tinkercad and fun projects they can use. 5th grade designed and printed spinning tops, 4th grade
designed figurines, and 3rd grade designed pencil toppers.
Our web-based solution to manage and assess student learning is Canvas Learning Management System. Canvas
provides a sense of consistency and flexibility for our teachers and students. In elementary grades 3-5, Canvas
provides online feedback for assignments. In middle school and high school, Canvas is used for access to online
assignments, multimedia content, and is an excellent platform for the use of 21st century learning tools. The
Canvas Parent app enhances the potential for parents to engage in their children's education.
We are focused on using all of our available resources to provide a technologically safe and secure learning
environment for our students. We begin teaching them at an early age the importance of being good digital
citizens – lessons we hope will follow them throughout their education at the Academy.
Our third-party software, GoGuardian, is a classroom management software and computer monitoring software.
During class, GoGuardian acts as the teacher's eyes when their back is turned. Outside of class, GoGuardian
monitors all internet activity in real time to the Technology Coordinator who follows up as necessary. GoGuardian
is used across all divisions but even more extensively in the high school, where students are assigned a
Chromebook and allowed to take them home. Consequently, Google and GoGuardian settings follow the student
wherever they are located, be it home or public library, etc. – they never sleep and know no geo-boundaries.
“Our first two years at HPCA have far exceeded
all expectations we had. We feel that our kids
are engaged with the curriculum and encouraged
and loved by their teachers and the entire staff.
Most importantly, they are immersed in Biblical
Kingdom Education, which is why we
chose HPCA.”
- Mandy and Bradley Luckey
18Family Involvement
COUGAR CREW
This year, our HPCA parent and grandparent volunteers returned full force! Our former
“Parent Teacher Fellowship” Committee transitioned into the Cougar Crew! This group of
volunteers made the impossible, possible! 89 Cougar Crew members showered our faculty
and staff with love and appreciation throughout the year; served at various school events; and
gave of their time and resources to make our school community the best place it can be!
Some of the highlights of the year the Cougar Crew made possible were:

BOOSTERS
The purpose of the Cougar Boosters is to provide support for the extracurricular activities
of the fine arts, athletics, and technology programs of High Point Christian Academy. We
are enthusiastic about transforming the lives of our students and we want to help them
mature as they develop their God-given talents and abilities. We strive to partner in
attaining this goal through your support and service.
Through Boosters memberships, involvement, and support, financial allocations are able to
take place throughout the year to support your child's extracurricular experiences.
A few highlights of recent Booster
projects include:
• Drama panels for productions
• Charter buses for lengthy
athletic games
• Popcorn machine for students
• Outdoor portable sound system
• HPCA Senior graduation yard signs
and much more....
19Advancing for His Glory!
Over the past two years, HPCA families have not skipped a beat when it comes to
sacrificially and prayerfully donating and participating in our fundraising efforts.
The gifts of time, financial support, prayer, and daily commitment to Kingdom Education have been remarkable!
Tuition and fees support faculty and staff salaries, student learning and activities, insurance, transportation, and
campus and classroom maintenance. However, there is a consistent need for financial aid, classroom and technology
supplies, the growth of our campus, and more! These additional needs would not be met without donated monies.
As a 501-C3 organization, HPCA is a non-profit. Unlike public schools that receive state funding for items such as
tables and chairs, iPads, lights, building maintenance, and more, we relay solely on the generosity of our families
to provide the school with needs that may arise, which are not covered by the cost of tuition. To keep tuition costs
affordable, it is necessary for private schools to hold fundraisers for needed campus improvements.
Noted are financial dollars allocated to these various funds from July 1, 2021 through May 15, 2022.
K.M. Vestal Annual Fund - $172,000
Donated dollars to the K.M. Vestal Annual Fund come to the school through a variety of
means. HPCA holds one school-wide fundraiser (Cougarthon) in addition to the HPCA
Auction, Cougar Cup, and letter campaigns.
Funds directed to the K.M. Vestal Annual Fund are used in the classrooms for technology,
fine arts, teacher development, and many other basic expenses that contribute to the
educational experience of every student on campus.
